Many business professionals have a difficult time managing their time efficiently, unknowingly sabotaging their own success, over and over again.  They often spend months, even years, struggling to discern between the low-priority and high-impact tasks, and where their efforts drive the biggest results.  Unfortunately, this type of unawareness can lead to a failed business.  How do you prevent self-sabotage of your business?  One very good option is to hire an accountability coach!  Let me share four reasons you need to hire an accountability coach to help you achieve your goals and accelerate your results.An experienced Accountability Coach will help you…1.      Understand how your actions either lead you toward or away from your goal(s)2.      Nip procrastination and other timewasters in the bud3.      Break free of your limiting beliefs4.      Achieve success by refining how you approach personal and professional goalsLet's do a deeper dive into each of these benefits.  Download my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination, Helping You Create Your Ideal Business and Ideal Life, by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/stop-procrastination. Download my Guidebook, Are Your Beliefs Helping You or Hurting You?, by going to http://bit.ly/Helping-Beliefs. 80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative! Accountability coaching is especially beneficial to business owners, since they are the most susceptible to common sabotaging habits like procrastination and lack of direction.  As a business owner, you can get so caught up in the chaos of running and building your business that you can become lost.  Without direction, a clear understanding of where your actions are leading you, and which tasks are low priority versus high payoff, you may drive yourself and your business into the ground.  If you are ready to achieve the kind of success you have always imagined, do yourself and your business a favor and hire an Accountability Coach to help you accelerate your results, so you can enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life.  Support the showIf you would like help sticking to your goals, so you can make more money and work less, and ultimately enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

Today I want to share a little behind the scenes progress update on one of my annual goals. Initially, I thought I would share this update exclusively with my master mind sisters because they know more about the goal from our annual goal planning sessions, but I thought it was such a fun, positive, and inspirational goal that my wider community might want to hear more about the progress I've made with the goal as well Hopefully, the goal resonates with you, but even if it doesn't, this epsiode is going to focus on the steps I took to define the goal, break it down and execute on it. And as I'm filming this, I actually think the goal is complete, which is why I wanted to share it with you all now to give you some tips on it. The Goal I want to talk about today is to become a well dressed woman. That was literally one of my goals for 2023.

In this episode, Simone Stolzoff, independent journalist and author of "The Good Enough Job", shares her insights on how work has come to dominate American culture and how we can reclaim our lives in a world centered around work. Simone's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and numerous other publications. Simone and I explore the dangers of treating work as a source of identity and meaning, and the importance of diversifying our sources of identity. We discuss how to define what we want our relationship with work to be, the value of active forms of leisure, and the benefits of trading money for time. We also talk about the role of work in our lives, and how it can lead to more creativity and better ideas when we invest in other aspects of ourselves. Some highlights we explore: How to cultivate different sides of ourselves to become more resilient in the face of change The risks of a work-centric existence and how it can detract from our ability to be the best versions of ourselves The benefits of investing in relationships, hobbies, and passions outside of work How to define what we want our relationship with work to be The value of trading money for time to increase our sense of fulfillment The importance of understanding the role work plays in our lives and how it can lead to more creativity and better ideas Enjoy!

I value the intention behind Work/Life Balance, which is that work isn't supposed to consume our entire lives. But the “balance” part is confusing for many, and it always hits me funny that it implies that we leave our lives when we go to work. As someone who loves their career, I'd say my work is very much a part of my LIFE.  I've invited our guest, Dr. Sohee Jun, to join me to talk about how to succeed, as women, at LIFE, which of course, includes our work. As a top leadership coach, keynote speaker, leadership development expert and Amazon best-selling author, Dr.Jun works with emerging leaders and executives to unleash their untapped power. She worked over 20 years in the corporate world and is here today to talk about how we can build trust with and for ourselves so we create the Work/Life we truly want. Maybe it's less about balance and more about CHOICE. Knowing there's power in our NO, value in our YES, and impact in our “not nows” or “not yets”. Maybe you already know the answer of how to succeed at work and in your life… you just need to be brave enough to listen. All I know for certain is, this is the life you get to live and it's my greatest desire that you live it with intention.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Steele (aka The Corporate Mama) to talk about the myth of work-life balance and how Sarah strives for work-life fulfillment, the differences between being a working mom versus a working dad in the corporate world, and why a mandated parental leave across all workplaces would be a gamechanger. Sarah shares her best efficiency and self care advice for parents working from home, tools she implements to self-regulate intense emotions and manage ADHD as a parent, and the joy she still gets from cultivating her Corporate Mama community.     Key Takeaway / Points: On the myth of work-life balance and how Sarah strives for work-life fulfillment Sarah's most challenging part of being a mother with a corporate job On the differences between being a working mom vs. working dad in the corporate world On the concept of a mandated parental leave Sarah's advice for parents working from home and efficiency tips Sarah's work with self-regulating intense emotions and ADHD as a parent How our children can be a mirror for ourselves How postpartum depression and anxiety can manifest as rage On the value of giving yourself time to regroup as a parent Sarah's joy in building The Corporate Mama community   Read more about the study that Cameron mentions about the “Motherhood Penalty” and the “Father Bonus” here   This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Main talking points include: Prefer to watch this show? Subscribe to the YouTube Channel! The challenge: We're all exceptionally busy – and if doesn't matter if we're an agency of 1 or 100, we all need to make sure that items of work aren't forgotten, deadlines are hit, our company is marketed, the booked an payroll are done, invoices are sent and that we have some time for ourselves and our family. The solution: Whilst it may sound exceptionally boring, establishing effective routines means you can become more efficient and think about the output rather than the process. This also seriously helps with delegating if some of these routines include catch-ups. Here's my predicament:I run 2 businesses – that's two lots of staff, two lots of project management, two lots of sales and support, and two lots of everything!That also means everything is held in two places – we have separate project management systems. Here are my techniques:Regular (weekly) catch-up meetings with core team membersWeekly planning of my week (generally on a Friday)Start up and shut down processesStartup: review the day, and what needs to be done firstShut down: check the day (what got done vs what didn't) and confirm the plan for tomorrowDo, Delegate, Delete

Rest is the same as sleep right? And if you get your 7-9 hours of sleep, then you're all set? Nope!

I'm revisiting a post published almost exactly two years ago. At the time of writing, I'd been away from my corporate job for eighteen months. I spent six months of that time living in a tiny A-frame camper with my wife and dog before resettling in the St. George, Utah area.I was climbing a lot and working on this website, but I can now comfortably admit that I was in a bit of a low spot in terms of overall life satisfaction. The issue was one of expectations. In other words, I expected too much about a life without my career and I took for granted elements of my work life that enhanced life satisfaction. I was feeling stale with this project—I wouldn't start the podcast until late summer—and despite having all the time in the world to dedicate to the craft of climbing, I was slowly coming to the realization that I'd used climbing as an attempt to fill a void that was not yet clearly defined or outlined.Two years later, I've spent considerable time addressing each of the areas discussed in this post, to varying degrees of success. Stay tuned in the coming weeks and months for other changes still ongoing. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com

Work-Life Balance Margarette Dorchester If you have a family, I can guarantee that everything is competing for your time and trying to take you away from your family!  Think about it. Work, social commitments. Sports. You name it and it is competing for one asset you cannot create more of: TIME. There are only 24 hours in one day. Period. You cannot create an extra three hours to add to your day. The only thing you can do is prioritize your time to “carve out” that extra three hours from your already demanding schedule. If you are running your own business (and especially if you have employees), your time devoted to your business is even more important. Unfortunately, that is what happens. You end up prioritizing your time devoted to your business rather than family – or even yourself! Yes, you must prioritize time for your own self-care. Physical exercise, rest and relaxation. I know I have hard time doing that myself. So I'm here to learn today as well as you. Our guest today is Margarette Dorchester. She has a Master's Degree in Business and is a Certified Management Consultant and leadership coach as well. She helps individuals and business leaders to rebalance their work and personal lives to benefit themselves and their families, all while keeping their businesses running smoothly. How do we do that? Well, we are about to find out! Praise God! Help me welcome to the program, Margarette Dorchester! Margarette, it is so good to finally talk with you. We've had a few detours on our efforts to have this conversation, but Praise God, here we are! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief in formation I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Margarette Dorchester?” How did you get started in this line of work? I read on your website some testimonials that talk about you helping them with the “Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award.” Can you explain what this is and how you help them to compete for the award? What kind of business usually reaches out to you? By that I mean, small businesses or corporations and organizations that are large, small or in between? When you first walk into a business in this capacity, as a consultant, what is it you usually want to see first? Do you do most of your consulting work “on the ground” at the physical location of the business, online or a combination of both? What kind of packages do you offer or are these tailored to the individual and business? Margarette, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out and ask a question or wanted more information on your consulting services, how can they do that? How can they reach out to you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes down below. Folks, as we said in the beginning, there are only so many hours in each and every day. How you use them is what matters. But you cannot be focused all on work with no self-care or family time included. You would just burn out and be of no use to anyone, including yourself. I believe the information Margarette Dorchester shared with us today touched someone. I just believe that. I encourage you, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Margarette! Ask your questions. See if this is what you need to get your personal and...

In today's continuously evolving world, we are in a constant phase of change. It means that the business model thriving today may become outdated within a decade or possibly even sooner. An excellent example of this is brick-and-mortar stores. It was a preferred shopping method; however, Covid-19 has reshaped many aspects of our lives. The lockdowns and advancing technology have helped online stores take over previous physical models. It has empowered millennial entrepreneurs with a low budget since you don't need any inventory, a place to showcase your products, or a team to run the store. You can single-handedly run the entire show and pave your way to success. All you need is a killer website, products that clients crave, and unparalleled shipment services. Unfortunately, this model comes with its own set of challenges: credibility, consistency, and reliability.For those that want to make it big and are ready to dedicate their time and energy can overcome this by cleverly integrating technology with incredible client service. However, those who only focus on making money fast suffer. Take a look at Nike and how it connected the digital experience with brick-and-mortar experiences by launching its flagship in SoHo, NYC. This experience-driven retail experience encourages buyers to visit retail stores by offering a one-of-a-kind experience. But more importantly, the store also boosts its digital marketing strategy. Since it's fully integrated and connected with Nike's mobile app and website, your data is instantly stored and accessible.By introducing its innovative flagship, focusing on the client experience, and providing both a digital and physical store experience, Nike attracts the attention of sports fanatics across the globe.  So, what sets your brand apart in the swarm of start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses? You learn to listen! Listen to the stories of successful business owners, listen to how badly they may have failed, and listen to how they picked themselves up. But most of all, you need to listen to tips that industry experts have shared over the past years. Support the showIf you would like help sticking to your goals, so you can make more money and work less, and ultimately enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

Values aligned leadership is central to running a values aligned business. Companies of any size that want to go beyond checking boxes must intentionally cultivate leadership based in clear values. A company's most valuable asset is its people. Centering humanity at all levels of a company supports morale, efficiency, quality of work, and, ultimately, company health. Unfortunately, many people haven't experienced examples of values aligned leadership and that makes it hard to create.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Alesia Galati to join me in a conversation about what values aligned leadership looks like in practice.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes: Aligning personal and business valuesSetting boundaries and expectationsConsidering employee AND client experienceToo little or too much work is a problemInvesting in your teamThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

Here at work, I said something about work-life balance.  And one of my friends said … I don't do work-life balance.  I do work-life chemistry.  Because there's always changing mixture of work and life Sounded profound… but chemistry can be dangerousA lesson learned by a couple of  CEO's who added just a little too much work… and not enough life to the chemistry equation.  — This is Andy Owen… the CEO of a fancy furniture company….called Miller Knolls.  Times were tough … in an employee Zoom meeting… here are her comments about not getting bonuses… After the internet blowback… the CEO apologized.  Meantime in Draper… they're doing damage control at Clearlink… where CEO James Clarke complained about quiet quitters in a staff meeting…  — It's a problem.  But to motivate them… he told them what a good employee looks like in hard times.The best employee sells the family dog… to make the boss smile.  Clearlink has instantly become a case study of how not to motivate the staff.   These particular CEOs don't understand what any fourth grader knows.  If you mess with chemistry…Kaboom.  stuff blows up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this riveting episode, we hear the inspiring story of Václav "Vash" Tomanec, a successful entrepreneur who rose from delivering Uber Eats to running multiple businesses. Vash emphasizes the pivotal role of mindset in business success and reveals his unique approach to dealing with fears, demonstrating that courage doesn't exist without fear. As he shares his journey, he presents effective strategies for managing time, striking a healthy work-life balance, and enhancing productivity.A master of entrepreneurship, Vash turns perceived problems into profitable ventures. But he doesn't stop at business growth - Vash's deep sense of purpose drives him to give back to the community, revealing the power of having a meaningful 'why' behind your goals. From supporting charity projects to helping other entrepreneurs break their own barriers, Vash exemplifies the spirit of impactful entrepreneurship.Václav Tomanec's journey resonates deeply with individuals such as Alessandro Minneci, Marcus Gilhooley, and Xabiso Mdluli. Each of them has experienced significant personal and professional growth under Vash's mentorship. Alessandro speaks highly of the value Vash places on personal development as a prerequisite to success. Marcus, too, found his life and business transformed by adopting the mindset strategies championed by Vash, even leading him to the accomplishment of building a successful 7-figure business while maintaining a healthy and happy life. Meanwhile, Xabiso credits the Mindtrepreneur community, under the guidance of Vash, with not just enhancing his entrepreneurial skills, but also helping him become a person he takes pride in and loves.

It's essential to validate your solution with a beta version before investing significant time and resources into product development.Having a meaningful 'why' drives success: Goals rooted in a deep sense of purpose can provide a higher level of motivation and fulfillment.

0:26~Our first guest, Chef-Owner Dominic Piperno, began his culinary journey as a youth.  Guided at a young age by his Grandparents who immigrated to the USA from Germany & Italy, Chef Piperno gained a lifetime of knowledge on how to cook with zero food-waste, using the freshest ingredients, and balancing his passion as a chef with personal time.  With those seeds planted, it is no wonder that he circled back to those habits ingrained in him from his upbringing.  This is why he chose to switch from an a la carte menu at Hearthside in Collingswood to the more efficient tasting menu.  You can visit Hearthside to experience an elevated menu, curated with the best ingredients that Chef Piperno obtained, for an exquisite dinner for two via making a reservation.17:16~Commercial Break17:40~We next spoke with Joey Ward, whose passion to bring fine dining to Georgia stems from years of experience beginning as a young man.  At 16 years old, he began his career while working at a local country club.  After earning an AA Degree at the Culinary Institute of America in 2005, he continued his education while working as the Sous Chef at Woodfire Grill in Atlanta under Season 6's Top Chef's Kevin Gillespie, and later as Gillespie's Executive Chef inside Gunshow.  Armed with the knowledge, skills, and sophistication to create a successful Chef's Tasting experience, Ward opened the joint ventures, Southern Belle and Georgia Boy.37:35~Commercial Break37:49~To say that our last guest, Chef Steve Chu, is humble, warm-hearted, and hard-working would be an understatement: His desire to ensure you enjoy the foods he creates seemed to outweigh any proclivity to brag about himself or the impressive achievements he has founded. In fact, his energy is practically palpable; Chu's passion for food and ensuring you have a positive experience was at the forefront of what he expressed.  I only hope that you can visit one of his locations and taste for yourselves the passion he expresses through his culinary creations.    

Today on episode 64 I'm excited to welcome Priti and Jeff Wright, two accomplished young professional alpinists from Seattle, WA. In 2020, Priti, a software developer, and Jeff, a mechanical engineer at Boeing, embarked on a year-long sabbatical to travel across the globe and climb alpine objectives in Patagonia, France, and Pakistan, finishing by the beach in Hawaii.The trip was wildly successful, even amid the raging pandemic, including ascents of the Cerro Torre, the six classic North Faces of the Alps in a single season (including the Eiger North Face in winter), culminating in the first ascent of K6 Central and the third ascent of K6 West—both 7000+-meter peaks—in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan.In contrast to early retirement, Priti and Jeff make the compelling case for a traditional career peppered with sabbaticals. This episode is filled with lifestyle and career philosophy, planning concepts, detailed financial considerations, and just a damn good time. And they are even planning their next sabbatical in 2024, which will look drastically different than their trip in 2020. You won't want to miss this one. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com
